The back and forth, between Chicago and Darfur, is poorly done. This should have been a Carter "bottle" episode and focused completely on Darfur. The whole thing felt half baked, and the Chicago portion unnecessary.
The Darfur cast really is excellent in their own right, between Eamon Walker, Mary McCormack and Noah Wyle, you have the makings of an excellent series. Maybe throw in Thandie Newton, some guest spots of the ER cast and you have an ER spin-off.
The Chicago portion is a 6/10, the Darfur a 8/10, call it a 7.
